Phew! I don’t think I’m the only one who’s 100 % done with 2016. When it comes to reading, this wasn’t my year. I didn’t pick up a single book for three months straight, and on top of that failed to reach my already low goal of 30 books. This slump is getting old, people!

Small disclaimer: I am in no way saying that 22 books is a low amount for everyone and reading is not a competition! 22 can be amazing for some people, but for me personally…well, I don’t think I’ve read less than 30 books since basically the year I learned to read properly.

But I’m trying not to focus on the bad things.

Let’s have a look at the pros of 2016:

1.  My friends are amazing and I love them

2. Though they were few and far between, I did read some fantastic books

3. I went to Edinburgh and Paris

4. I passed all my exams

5. I saw three of my favourite bands live

6. I’ve had time to do some artsy/creative stuff

Okay, I’m certainly feeling better already, and I hope you all have at least a few nice things to look back at, too. Come on 2017, hit me with all you’ve got! (Especially if what you got is amazing books)

Happy new year, people!
